For homes already on the market
Your home’s on the market. Nothing’s happening.
Weeks of silence. A handful of half-hearted viewings. An agent who was all energy at the valuation and has gone quiet since. It’s one of the most frustrating places to be — and it’s almost never the house. Let a director tell you, honestly and for free, what would actually move it.
The honest version
When a home stalls, it’s usually a few small things.
Rarely one big mistake, and rarely the house itself. Each of these is fixable — and a relaunch review tells you which ones are holding yours back.
A price set to win the instruction
Some agents quote a high guide to flatter you into signing, then spend the next two months talking you back down. Buyers see a home that's overpriced and move on; by the time the figure is right, the listing already feels stale.
Photography that undersells the rooms
Dark, wide-angle phone shots can make a beautiful home look ordinary. Buyers decide whether to view in seconds, on a screen. If the photography doesn't do the home justice, the viewings never come.
A launch that fizzled
The first two weeks on the market are everything — that's when the registered, ready buyers see a home as new. Miss that window with a flat launch and you're left drip-feeding it to whoever happens by.
An agent who went quiet
Energy at the valuation, silence after the first fortnight. No proactive calls to applicants, no honest feedback, no plan B. A home that isn't being actively sold simply sits.
Homes that struggled elsewhere — then sold with us
Not a theory. A track record.

Honest answers
The questions owners actually ask.
My house isn't selling — is it the price or the agent?
It's rarely one big mistake, and it's rarely the house. Usually it's a few smaller things that have quietly added up: a guide price set to win the instruction rather than the sale, photography that undersells the rooms, a launch that came and went without momentum, or simply an agent who went quiet after the first few weeks. The good news is that all of those are fixable — and a relaunch review tells you, honestly, which ones are holding your home back.
Won't relisting make my house look desperate to buyers?
No — handled properly, a fresh launch does the opposite. A new agent means new photography, new copy, a new portal launch date and a new set of buyers seeing it as if for the first time. Buyers don't see your listing history; they see a home that's just come to market, presented at its best. The 'reduced again' look comes from sitting still, not from a clean relaunch.
I'm tied into a contract with my current agent. Can I still switch?
Often, yes — but it's worth checking the detail. Most sole-agency agreements have a fixed tie-in period (commonly 8–12 weeks) after which you can give notice, plus a notice period itself. Some carry a clause about buyers the agent has already introduced. Bring us your agreement and we'll read it with you, for free, and tell you exactly where you stand before you do anything. We'd never advise you to break a contract you're bound by.
What actually happens in a relaunch review?
A director — Mike, Gemma or Tom — looks properly at how your home is currently being marketed: the price guidance against real comparables, the photography, the listing copy, the portal presence and the viewing feedback you've had. Then we tell you honestly what we'd do differently and what it would realistically achieve. It's free, there's no obligation, and we don't contact your current agent.
Have you actually sold homes that struggled elsewhere?
Regularly. Thirlmere Road in Bishops Down had been on the market for 183 days with another agent; we relaunched it and it sold in 14, with an offer above guide inside two weeks. Milton Drive near High Brooms had underperformed with another local agent; our second launch generated 27 viewings and three offers, and it sold above asking. Both are real, recent instructions — you can read them in full on our case studies.
Six months of silence can become a fortnight of momentum.
It happened on Thirlmere Road, and on Milton Drive, and it can happen for your home too. Start with a free review — no obligation, no pressure, no awkward conversation with your current agent.
